0 - Since the introduction of yellow and red cards at the 1970 edition, no player has ever received a red card and gone on to play in his team's next match at the FIFA World Cup.

Unprecedented.

[Yannick Bolasie @YannickBolasie]

All I’ll say is if this was AFCON and they let a man play after he got a red card, the nonsense being said would be crazy

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🚨⚠️ OFFICIAL: Belgian Federation statement on Folarin Balogun red card case, saying they are “astonished”.

“The Royal Belgian Football Association (RBFA) is astonished by FIFA's decision to declare suspended United States player Folarin Balogun eligible to play in the USA–Belgium match on Monday, 6 July at 5:00 p.m. (Seattle time).
FIFA bases its decision on Article 27 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code.

This provision states that the FIFA Disciplinary Committee may decide to suspend the enforcement of a previously imposed disciplinary sanction.
However, Article 66.4 of the same FIFA Disciplinary Code clearly provides that a red card (sending-off) automatically results in a suspension for the team's next match, as has been the case for all previous red cards issued during this FIFA World Cup.
Furthermore, and irrespective of the above, the decision is in direct contradiction with the provisions of the FIFA World Cup 2026 Competition Regulations, as set out in Article 10.5:
"If a player or team official is sent off as a result of a direct or indirect red card (second caution), they will automatically be suspended from their team's subsequent match. In addition, further sanctions may be imposed.”
The automatic nature of such a suspension was also explicitly reaffirmed in FIFA World Cup 2026 Circular No. 16, which was distributed to all participating member associations on 12 May 2026.
The same rule is reiterated at every FIFA World Cup 2026 Match Coordination Meeting prior to each match and is included in all FIFA World Cup 2026 workshop presentations.

❗️In order to safeguard the legitimate rights of all participating teams and to protect the fundamental principles of fair play in our sport, both at this FIFA World Cup and at future editions of the tournament, the RBFA is investigating all potential options.”

I have never seen a state government institution or facility that is better run than their federal counterparts.

* Federal universities generally rank above most state universities.

* Federal Government Colleges are better run than state government colleges

* Federal teaching hospitals offer more specialised healthcare than state hospitals.

* Federal roads are better built and maintained than state roads.

* INEC, despite its imperfections, conducts more credible elections than State Independent Electoral Commissions.

* The federal civil service is generally more structured than state civil service.

If performance is the benchmark, why does Tinubu think states can run police better than the federal government?

It's troubling how daily reports of banditry and kidnappings barely get attention, yet a leaked video or sensational screenshot spreads across timelines within minutes. Our priorities as a society often seem misplaced. 💯

Hi darling @ToniKroos

You spent months criticizing Qatar and talking about every possible issue before and during the 2022 World Cup, yet it turned out to be one of the best-organized tournaments in history. Public transportation was free, fans could travel easily between stadiums some fans saw 4 matches in the stadium in same day, and the overall organization was praised by millions of visitors.

Now, when concerns are being raised about visa delays, strict entry procedures, and travel difficulties surrounding tournaments in the United States, we don't hear the same level of criticism from you. There have also been complaints about organizational decisions and match arrangements that many fans consider unnecessary or difficult, yet your voice is nowhere near as loud as it was when Qatar hosted the World Cup.

If your criticism is truly based on principles, then the same standards should apply to everyone. But when Qatar receives endless criticism while similar concerns elsewhere are met with silence, people are naturally going to question whether your issue was really about organization at all.

Fuck you.

[Ziyad Yakubu @Ziyad_yakubu]

This is sloppy victim-blaming.

Arewa didn’t consued anything we are marely caught in the middle of a global war economy.

Arewa is not the aggressor here.

Arewa is the theatre.

The weapons are moving across collapsed borders.

The Sahel is burning.

Foreign powers are playing their games.

Multinational interests are extracting from weak states.

The Nigerian ruling class is eating through emergency budgets.

Security contractors are eating.

Politicians are eating.

Fake NGOs are eating.

Local collaborators are eating.

And ordinary people are burying their dead.

A farmer in Zamfara who cannot enter his farm did not consume ₦15 trillion.

A woman in Borno living in an IDP camp did not consume ₦15 trillion.

A child in Katsina whose school was shut down did not consume ₦15 trillion.

Villagers paying tax to bandits did not consume ₦15 trillion.

They are the human cost of a broken state sitting inside a wider regional and global disorder.

So yes, criticize mass weddings.

Criticize Hajj sponsorship.

Criticize northern governors.

Criticize the emirs, clerics, politicians, and elites who keep giving people ceremony while their society collapses.

But don’t be intellectually lazy.

Mass wedding did not create Boko Haram.

Mass wedding did not open Libya’s armouries.

Mass wedding did not collapse the Sahel.

Mass wedding did not flood our forests with weapons.

Mass wedding did not turn insecurity into a budget industry.

Qatar even allowed Israeli journalists to cover FIFA World Cup 2022 despite not even recognizing Israel as a country whereas the USA is not even giving visas to British fans for World Cup let alone people from countries like Iraq, Iran, DR Congo etc.

Guess which WC host got negative press from the western media?

[Abdool Moh. @abdool_moh]

Arewa has no media is such a funny way to mask up the stupid misplaced priorities of your people. When Bello Matawalle’s son inlaw cheated, you people had enough voices to make it trend in every corner of the internet for days. But Matawalle as minister of defense has never trended on Arewa media for his failure to tackle the constant daily killings of Northerners under his leadership. Even the top voices in Arewa have turned to slaves to the very politicians that failed to protect the North. Arewa’s problem is stupid misplaced priorities centered around marriage, relationship gossips and political almajiri pandemic not lack of media.

[Uncle K Esq @Supheey]

Yan Arewa need to understand this! The mediocrity is too much!

It was not a rescue operation; they went there for outright armed robbery, and they were beaten black and blue.

Every single military fighter jet that took part in that operation was completely destroyed and burned to ashes.

The Nigerian military personnel you made reference to was assassinated by the very group that is being directly funded by America, using dirty funds laundered right through USAID.

What I find absolutely baffling is why the average Nigerian blindly worships America and mindlessly swallows CIA propaganda hook, line, and sinker.

This weekend, Abuja roads are blocked.
Civil servants sent home. Hotels are fully booked. Security agents everywhere.
Not because of a national emergency.
Because of a party convention.
Meanwhile, Nigerians are being slaughtered in their villages.

Imagine if Iran bombed Washington, killed the U.S. President, politicians, diplomats and top generals, what would you call it? Terrorists.

The U.S. bombed Tehran, killed its head of state, politicians, diplomats and top generals. Why do you call it a "pre emptive strike"!

[Laura Blum @laura8blum]

There was evidence that there were command and control centres under these buildings.

The Iranian army undertook a precision strike, against the Israeli regime’s military infrastructure.

Unfortunately, the Israeli regime embeds its military infrastructure amongst the civilian population, and uses it as human shields.

The Iranian army operates to the highest morals and standards of international law, and any loss of civilian life is regrettable, but 100% due to the Israeli regime.
